I played this course over the weekend with some friends of mine and have to say I plan on never returning. I don’t think it would be a stretch to say I was bit by more Mosquito’s while playing this course than all of the bites I’ve received in my 34 years of life. I kid you not; at one point I went to swat my leg and was surprised to see a small village of Mosquito’s had taken up residency on me. \r

It was at this time decided I need to find the nearest can of OFF. I drove up to the pro-shop where I was glad to see they had some OFF sitting on the register counter (they saw me coming from a mile away)… little did I know that one can was going to cost me $10.83. Now I understand the need to make a profit, but come on almost $11 dollars for a can of OFF? I know, I know… I should have brought some with me, but I didn’t. So I write this to let you know, if you plan on playing this course bring at least two cans of OFF with you or your own personal fogger.\r

The other bad part about this golf course were the two gentlemen (if you choose to call them gentlemen) who harassed my friends and I after we spent $897 dollars in green/car rental fees (20 players) + the several hundreds that we spent on $15 dollar six packs of beer from the cart girls (only thing that was nice about this place). \r

Now, I know what you’re thinking… a bunch of drunks causing havoc on the course. Well this couldn’t be anything further from the truth. We’re a very respectful group of guys who all work hard and enjoy spending our hard earned dollars to play golf on the weekends. The starter and the “resident pro” on staff treated our group like we were street trash defacing their precious golf course. \r

While waiting on the 18th hole from the remainder of our party to come in we were asked to turn in out golf carts and leave the course… right after some of had just purchased more beers from the cart girl. We stated that we were trying to wait for our friends who were playing directly behind us, and were told if we didn’t turn the carts in the cops would be called on us for trespassing… Didn’t we just pay you $897 dollars to play?\r

If this is any indication of how Moody Gardens Golf course treats all of the large parties playing their course, I suggest you take your hard earned money else where. I know in the future my friends and I will be sure to! \r
Pros: Very nice cart girls
Cons: Everything Else
